The Texas Rangers prospect and reigning minor league home run champion hit three home runs Wednesday night for Class A Myrtle Beach in a 21-6 throttling of Frederick (Md.) of the Baltimore organization.

Gallo, 20, hit 40 homers last year between low Class A Hickory and the Arizona Rookie League. He has picked up right where he left off.

The three homers and six RBIs gave him nine homers for the season in 64 at-bats and a Carolina League-leading 22 RBIs. Gallo also walked three times on Wednesday and now has 15 walks in 19 games.

Gallo is now hitting .359 for the season with a .481 OBP. and an .890 slugging percentage for a ridiculous 1.371 OPS. And the numbers are even more skewed over his last 10 games in which Gallo is hitting .394 with an equal number of walks (10) to strikeouts. He has 15 RBIs in the 10-game span.
